INTRODUCTION 

The American Cricket Annual, which for twelve successive 
3^ears has endeavored to faithfully chronicle the records of the 
cricketers of the United States and Canada, is again presented to 
the votaries of the game after a lapse of two years. The title and 
form of the book are somewhat changed, but it is trusted that it 
will be again found useful and interesting. 

Owing to a fire which completely destroyed the building of the 
American Sports Publishing Company on almost the eve of publi- 
cation of the Annual, many club reports were lost, and nearly 
one hundred photographs and plates were burned. Some of these 
it has been found impossible to duplicate. The fire also delayed the 
publication of the book, which, it was expected, would be issued on 
the first of March. 

Next year it is hoped that the publication will be more complete. 
The secretary of every club in the United States is invited to send 
in a report and a photograph of his team, and if these are received 
promptly we shall be able to get the book out at an earlier date.

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 



TOUR OF THE PHiLADELPHIANS IN 
ENGLAND 

Philadelphia has every reason to feel proud of the record made 
by her representatives against the first-class counties of England 
in 1903. The schedule of games embraced matches with Oxford 
and Cambridge and the county teams of Gloucestershire, Notts, 
Kent, Somerset, Lancashire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Hamp- 
shire, Leicestershire and Surrey, M.C.C. and Ground and P. F. 
Warner's Eleven. Two other matches not in the first-class cate- 
gory were also played against Glamorganshire and Scotland, while 
a game arranged with Sussex had to be abandoned on account of 
the weather without a ball being bowled. 

This was certainly an ambitious schedule. Fears were at first 
entertained that the team would meet with so many disastrous 
defeats that the players would become discouraged and "go to 
pieces." The contrary, however, was the case, and the record of 
the trip shows that of the 16 games played, 7 were won, 6 lost and 
3 drawn. The victories were obtained over Gloucestershire, Notts, 
Kent, Lancashire, Glamorganshire, Leicestershire and Surrey ; the 
losses sustained at the hands of Cambridge, M.C.C, Somerset, 
Warwickshire, Worcestershire and P. F. Warner's Eleven, and 
the draws had with Oxford, Hampshire and Scotland. 

Before giving a brief description of the games played, it might 
be well to place on record the names of the subscribers to the 
Guarantee Fund. Without their generous aid the trip would not 
have been possible. The following is the list :

The team, with the exception of C. C. Morris and F. C. Sharp- 
less, who followed on a later boat, sailed from New York on the 
Steamship Majestic on Wednesday, May 2"]. On arriving in 
England, Lord's Cricket Ground was placed at the disposal of the 
visitors for practice, a courtesy much appreciated, while Mr. Henry 
Thouron invited the team tO' take part in a preliminary match at 
the residence of Mr. Frank Holme Sumner, Newham Farm, Addle- 
stone, where H. G. Leveson-Gower acted as captain of a team 
which the Philadelphians defeated by a score of 163 to 122. F. H. 
Bohlen scored 64, P. N. Le Roy 26 and P. H. Clark 22. 

The first regular match was against Cambridge, who won by 6 



12 SPALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 

wickets. This result was due tc poor fielding. For some unac-t 
countable reason catches were dropped indiscriminately and no 
less than ten "muffs" were charged against the team. The batting 
was good. At least, thanks to the fine work of J. A. Lester, F. H. 
Bohlen, J. B. King, A. M. Wood and R. D. Brown, the total ex- 
ceeded 200 in each innings. J. A. Lester played a grand innings 
of 96 in his first attempt at the bat. He was at the wickets for two 
hours and a half and was the ninth man out. The Cambridge 
team batted evenly and well, and their first innings total of 379 
gave them a lead which the Philadelphians found impossible to 
overcome. 

The next game was with Oxford, where rain spoiled the sport 
and caused a draw. J. B. King got into form in this match and 
captured 8 wickets for 39 runs in Oxford's only innings. He also 
did the best batting of the team, with scores of 47 and 20, and it 
is quite probable that a victory would have resulted had the ele- 
ments allowed the game to be played out. 

The first victory of the tour resulted from the next match, 
which was played at Cheltenham against Gloucestershire. Heavy 
rain prevented any play on the day set for beginning the game, 
and left the wicket in such a condition that there was ample time 
to finish the match. The wicket just suited the slow bowling of 
J. A. Lester, who had the remarkable analyses of 11 wickets for 
S3 runs for the match, 6 of them being obtained in the second 
innings for 13 runs. Gloucestershire was disposed of for 86 and 
43, against which Philadelphia put on 155, and thus won by an 
innings and 26 runs. 

The Notts team was then encountered, and as the famous eleven 
of the lace-making county had an unbeaten record up to date, the 
Philadelphians expected a stiff battle. A grand wicket had been 
prepared for the match, but after J. A. Lester with 6y and F. H. 
Bohlen with 65 had given expectations of a good score there was 
a sudden collapse and the innings was over for 159. Notts was 
expected to easily surpass this, but King and Clark both bowled 
well, and aided by three run outs the total fell five runs short. 
Everything then depended on the second innings, and in this C. C. 
Morris rose to the occasion with a grand contribution of 164. It 



SPALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 13 

was a faultless exhibition until he had passed the "century," after 
which he gave two chances. The tenth wicket, for which N. Z. 
Graves and T. C. Jordan formed a partnership, gave the Notts 
bowlers no end of trouble, and when on Saturday the pair had car- 
ried the total from 331 to 400, Captain Lester declared. J. Gunn, 
the left-handed pro., who had scored 52 in the first innings, then 
played a fine innings of 96 for Notts, but none of the other men 
got going, with the exception of Rev. H. Staunton, who put 011 
39, and the innings was over for 220, thus leaving Philadelphia 
easy victors by 165' runs. 

The M.C.C. was then encountered at Lord's, and as the team 
included Mead, Hearne (J. T.) and Trott, and the wicket was- 
soft and difficult, big scoring was out of the question. The game 
resolved itself into a battle of the bowlers, in which the three 
professionals had decidedly the best of things and the M.C.C. won 
by 5 wickets. The bowling of King and Clark was again a feature 
of the match. The former in the M.C.C. first innings took 7 
wickets for 51 runs. 

The beautiful ground at Beckenham was then visited where a 
creditable victory over a strong team of Kent was obtained. Good, 
even batting marked the Philadelphians' first innings, which yielded 
311 runs. Kent replied with 176, and the lead thus obtained proved 
most useful to the visitors, for the chief batsmen of the team 
failed in the second innings, and but for the timely hitting of E. M. 
Cregar and P. H. Clarke, the total would have been small indeed. 
As it was, Kent was left with 252 runs to win, and made a plucky 
fight to stave off defeat. F. D. Brown in particular proved an 
enigma to the bowlers and resisted the attack for an hour and a half 
for 30 runs. 

Somerset at Taunton was next on the programme. Here the 
visitors were given a valuable lesson in leg bowling by Braund and 
Cranfield. Their style was altogether new to the visitors, and 
in the first innings the former obtained '5 wickets for 2^ runs and 
the Philadelphians' total amounted only to 74. The profusion of 
fielders on the leg side — short leg, square leg, long leg, deep square 
leg, mid-on and long-on — was a revelation to the visitors. F. C. 
Sharpless played a good 54 in the second innings, but the effort

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 15 

was too late and Somerset won by lO wickets. As the game wasi 
finished on the second day, a scratch match against a team of the 
''Gentlemen of Somerset" was played on July i, in which the Phila- 
delphians proved victorious by 201 to 152. 

A four days' rest was then taken before the next game at Man- 
chester against Lancashire. The Lancashire team was not as strong 
as it might have been, and the county paid the penalty by being 
defeated by 9 wickets. The match was made remarkable by the 
magnificent bowling of J. B. King and the hard hitting of N. Z. 
Graves. Aided somewhat by a strong wind behind him. King, 
in Lancashire's second innings, captured 9 wickets for 62 runs, 
and he might have been credited with all ten but that he ran 
the last man out. "Cricket" had this to say editorially of his 
feat : 

"One of the best bowling performances of the present season 
was that of J. B. King, for the Gentlemen of Philadelphia in the 
second innings of Lancashire at Manchester on July 7. Lancashire 
had made 35 before lunch, without the loss of a wicket, but when 
play was resumed King, in 3 overs, took 5 wickets for 6 runs, and 
although there was for a time a check to his run of success, he fin- 
ished up the innings by taking g wickets for 62, the tenth man being 
run out. In the first innings King took 5 wickets for 46." 

This piece of work might be considered sufficient for one match, 
but the batting of N. Z. Graves deserves a special word of praise. 
He hit with wonderful vigor and put on 103 in something like three- 
quarters of an hour and made 60 out of the last 70 runs scored. 

A series of misfortunes overtook the team after its brilliant dis- 
play at Old Trafford. J. H. Scattergood, who had his finger hurt 
while keeping wicket at Taunton, found the injury more serious 
than at first thought, and as a matter of fact it kept him out of 
all games played during the remainder of the tour. T. C. Jordan, 
however, jumped into the breach, and for the balance of the trip 
did brilliant work behind the sticks. 

The next match was at Edgbaston against Warwickshire, where 
a victory was confidently expected, but J. B. King injured his leg 
so badly in the first over he sent down that he had to retire. E. M. 
Cregar came off in the bowling in Warwickshire's first innings

and obtained 8 wickets for 35 runs. F. H. Bohlen played a fine 
innings of 93, but the rest of the batting was weak and Warwick- 
shire won by 7 wickets. 

In the next match at Worcestershire, the list of injured became 
alarming. J. A. Lester had a split finger, J. B. King a strained leg, 
F. H. Bates an injured hand and J. H. Scattergood a similar afflic- 
tion. The bowling without King proved easy for Worcestershire, 
who won by 215 runs. P. H. Clark acted as captain of the team 
in the absence of Lester, and he made the occasion memorable with 
winnings of (i"j and 52, a bowling record of 12 wickets for 239 
runs. P. N. Le Roy also bowled well in Worcestershire's first 
innings. He took 4 wickets for 62 runs. 

J. B. King was still absent in the next match, which was played 
at Southampton against Hampshire. Rain interrupted the play a 
good deal and the match eventually ended in a draw. The value 
of a "slogger" was demonstrated in the game. The Philadelphians, 
who batted first, had lost 6 wickets for 60 runs when E. M. Cregar 
came in and hit up 50 in 25 minutes. J. A. Lester also plaK^ed 
fine cricket for 67, and the total eventually amounted to 230. A. 
J. L. Hill and Llewellyn collared the bowling for Hampshire and 
each put on a century. Continual rain on the last day stopped the 
game. , 

A game at the Oval against a strong team under P. F. Warner 
was next. King took part in this game, but he could not let him- 
self out and Warner's team won by 196 runs. The feature of the 
match was the bowling of B. J. T. Bosanquet, who took 5 wickets 
for 2i3 runs in the first innings and 7 for 46 in the second. 

The match at Brighton against Sussex had to be abandoned 
owing to rain. Quite a journey was then taken for the match at Car- 
diff against Glamorganshire. It proved an uninteresting contest, 
and resulted in a win for the Philadelphians by 10 wickets. The 
home team fielded very poorly. N. Z. Graves hit brilliantly for 
95. and it looked at one time as if the Welshmen would absolutely 
refuse to dismiss him so many unaccepted chances did he give 
them. 

A victory over Leicestershire by loi runs was then obtained at 
Leicester, where J. A. Lester played two brilliant innings of 126, 



IS SPALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 

not out, and 64. Then came the best match of the whole tour. 
Fhis was at the Oval against Surrey. The visitors' batting at last 
fully asserted itself, and the display given was one of which the 
team might justly feel proud. J. B. King was the hero of the 
occasion with innings of 98 and 113, run out and not out. The 
pity of it was that he did not add his name to the select few who 
have scored two centuries in a match. The end of the game proved 
most exciting for Surrey, playing for a draw, held possession of 
the wickets until 10 minutes before the time for drawing stumps. 
Hayward played a brilliant innings of 156, not out, and almost 
prevented the Philadelphians gaining their w^ell won victory by 
no runs. 

The last game of the tour Vv^as played at Edinburgh against a 
Scottish eleven. Only two days were devoted to the match, and 
as play did not begin on the first day until after three o'clock the 
result was a draw. In the Philadelphians' only innings N. Z. 
Graves scored 107, F. H. Bohlen* 80 and P. N. Le Roy 52. The 
team after this were the guests of A. Priestley, M.P., at Grantham, 
where J. B. King scored 178 in a match against sixteen of Grantham. 

In conclusion, the following from "W. A. B.," a prominent Eng- 
lish writer and judge of the game, may be quoted: 

■ "Hitherto the Gentlemen of Philadelphia have been fairly strong 
in batting, but weak in bowling. This year the bowling has made a 
great advance, and there are very few counties who have a better 
pair than King and Clark, both of them fast, both having some 
sort of swerve, and both understanding the art of variation and 
concealment of pace. There is not a county eleven which could 
afford to dispense with the services of either of them if they were 
qualified to play, even if neither of them could bat. Of the other 
bowlers, Lester knows pretty well what he is about, and he exer- 
cises considerable judgment. Cregar is also a very useful man to 
have on the side. It was not found necessary to try any of the 
other men much, and it is hardly possible to form an opinion as 
to their merits. Suffice it to say that the bowling was as good 
as that of most counties, to say the least of it. It must not be 
forgotten that our visitors have nearly all through the summer 
been playing under conditions to which they are not accustomed. 



SPALDING'S OFf^ICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 19 

In the first place, in Philadelphia they only play on Saturday after- 
noons, except on the rare occasions of a visit from a team from 
England, when at intervals they play a few three-day matches — a 
very different thing from going on for weeks with hardly a break. 
Again, the weather and the wickets have been not at all in their 
favor, for they live in a land where wickets, if they are not always 
particularly good, are generally hard, while the weather is pleasant 
on the whole, not to say exceedingly hot. But, like the Australians, 
they have adapted themselves to slow wickets with very great 
cleverness, and although they themselves are inclined to think that 
their bowlers would have shown to greater advantage if the season 
had been dry, they might perhaps have found that we have so 
many fine batsmen who are brilliant players on hard wickets, that 
the bowling, however good it might have been, would have ap- 
peared harmless. Be that as it may, the American bowlers dis- 
tinguished themselves. They have evidently learned a great deal 
since the last tour, and it may reasonably be expected that, if they 
can find a successor to King, they will give a still better account 
of themselves when a team visits England again. 

''As regards the batting, Dr. Lester heads the list of averages, 
and he is unquestionably the best batsman in the team. He has 
plenty of strokes and a sound knowledge of the game; he can hit 
when the occasion requires, or he can play a strong defensive game. 
Altogether he is an exceedingly good man, and with constant prac- 
tice in the highest company w^ould be a great cricketer. Almost 
the same thing may be said of King, who, while he is not quite 
such a good bat under all sorts of conditions as his captain, is 
better as an all-round man. If he and Lester were living in Eng- 
land it would indeed be a surprising thing if they were not asked 
to play at Lord's for the Gentlemen. Nor would it be surprising 
if Clark was asked to play as a bowler if he were available. In 
addition to Dr. Lester and King, the Americans have several other 
batsmen who are quite up to first-class county forms. Graves 
and Bohlen are both sound batsmen, who, with constant practice, 
would be at least fifty per cent, better even than they are now, 
Avhile Sharpless has such a strong defense that, like the villain in 
the play, he has often aroused the wrath of the crowd and the 



SPALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 21 

press, probably a good deal to his amusement. Other American 
teams have suffered from want of such a man as he. For some 
reason or other he seems to have attracted more attention than 
other stickers and to have excited more indignation. But he ought 
to take this as a compliment. On all sides it is admitted that a 
sticker is an invaluable man to have, and nearly every county 
possesses at least one man of this kind who goes in very early 
and often saves the game. Wood is a good all-round batsman 
who may generally be relied on to make a useful score in emer- 
gencies. Morris played one brilliant long innings, but afterward 
failed to keep up his form. He will probably be a very much 
better player if he comes to England with the next team. Several 
other men are likely to train on into really fine cricketers. 

''As to the fielding it is not possible to speak in the terms of the 
highest praise. It may be discredited as 'Variable." But when a 
man has to field day after day for weeks on end, he generally finds 
the exertion tells on him very considerably, unless he has been 
in the habit of playing constantly. No doubt, with the thorough- 
ness which has always characterized American cricketers, a great 
effort will be made to improve the standard of fielding before the 
next visit, and it may be taken for granted that what can be done 
in this way will be done. At least in one thing the members of 
the team have set an example which many English teams might 
follow with advantage. They never give up pursuing a ball which 
is hit toward the boundary until there is no possible chance of 
stopping it in time to save the four ; you never see them slacken 
speed, then hurry again, then drop off, and finally have to go for 
the ball after all. 

"The wicket-keeping was of a high order, and though Scattergood 
was undoubtedly the better man, Jordan showed very great ability 
when the former hurt his hand, and had to cease playing for the 
rest of the tour. Dr. Lester proved to be the right man in the 
right place as captain. The Americans were unfortunate in the way 
of accidents, but they took their mishaps with philosophic calm. 
They played the game like sportsmen, and thoroughly deserved 
their success. To have beaten Surrey, Lancashire, Kent, Notts,

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 49 



VISIT OF THE KENT COUNTY TEAM 

The Kent County team which paid a short visit to the United 
States in 1903 proved a strong eleven, and it had the satisfaction of 
winning the four games played. 

It seems a pity that a larger schedule could not be arranged for 
a team which travels so far. Whether this be the fault of the As- 
sociated Cricket Clubs of Philadelphia or the visiting teams them- 
selves seems hard to determine. The Philadelphians assume the 
financial responsibility of the visit, and arrange what games the 
visitors play. They practically pay the whole expense of the 
tour, for the "guarantee,'' which other cities are in a position to 
give, no more than covers the expenses of the team during the 
matches in those places. But if an arrangement could be made 
v\^ith our visitors whereby Philadelphia should pay so much for 
three games in that city, and leave the visiting team free to make 
whatever other arrangements they please, it is possible that a 
larger schedule would take place. 

Opening with a match at Manheim against the "Colts" of Phila- 
delphia, the Kent team gave early evidence of the possession of 
plenty of variety in bowling. W. M. Bradley especially proved un- 
usually successful with the ball. The "Colts" could do absolutely 
nothing with him, and in the first innings he captured 3 wickets for 
2 runs, and in the second 5 for 10. Blythe was not so effective as 
expected, and, indeed, for a bowler with the reputation which pre- 
ceded him, his work during the tour was disappointing. J. R. 
Mason bowled with remarkable success in this game. In the first 
innings he took 5 wickets for 6 runs. T. C. Jordan, who acted as 
captain of the Colts, handled his team with excellent judgment. 
He placed his field in a manner which made scoring difficult, and 
the dismissal of the Kent men for a total of 169 was a good per- 
formance by the boys. D. Graham proved a tower of strength in 
bowling. His record of 7 wickets for 32 runs was well worthy 
of praise. With the exception of Seymour, none of the Kent men 
got set. Seymour, however, played beautiful cricket for 44. The 
Colts proved w^eak at the bat, and but for a patient innings of 35 
by F. S. White, the effort would have been featureless. The visi- 
tors eventually won with 8 wickets to spare. 

The second game was played against the Gentlemen of Phila- 
delphia at Wissahickon Heights, the home of the Philadelphia C. C. 



SPALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 51 

The match proved a splendid contest, which a large crowd enjoyed 
on the second day of play. 

The batting was off on both sides in the first innings, for the 
Philadelphias' total of 128 was followed by Kent with 132. J. B. 
King and Seymour shared the batting honors with scores of 39 
and 42, respectively. The effort of the former was all the more 
praiseworthy because he was suffering from a recently broken fin- 
ger. Mr. King also achieved remarkable success with the ball, his 
analysis for the innings showing 7 wickets for 39 runs. 

The Philadelphians began their second innings disastrously, for 
2 wickets — C. C. Morris and A. W. Jones — were down for 3 runs. 
J. A. Lester and T. C. Jordan then got together and made a use- 
ful stand. J. B. King again played well for 41, but the feature 
of the innings was J. A. Lester's batting. He played with the ut- 
most care in the beginning, and was at the wickets one hour for 
10 runs. He contented himself with keeping up his wicket while 
there was a chance of runs coming from the other end; but so 
soon as the best men were disposed of he opened his shoulders in 
a remarkable manner and gave an exhibition of vigorous hitting, 
of which few on the field thought him capable. He was still undis- 
posed of, with a faultless 93 to his credit, when the innings came 
to an end for 194. 

Kent's second innings did not begin until the following Monday^ 
when C. J. Burnup and J. R. Mason formed a partnership which 
eventually gained them the victory with 7 wickets to spare. Mr. 
Burnup played splendid cricket for 94, not out, while J. R. Mason 
was also undisposed of with 46 to his credit. 

The third match was played at Staten Island against New York. 
The visitors again proved victorious, this time by 124 runs, after 
declaring for 4 wickets. The wicket for this match was not all 
that could be desired, and it was not thought safe to bowl W. M. 
Bradley. He went on for a few overs in the second innings, taking 
care, however, to avoid short-pitched balls, and he captured three 
wickets for i run. A. E. R'endle, the president of the Metropolitan 
League, offered silver cups to the batsman and bowler doing the 
best work for New York. These were won by J. Adam and F. F. 
Kelly, respectively. 

The fourth and last match was played at Haverford against the 
Gentlemen of Philadelphia, and was won by the visitors with 7 
wickets to spare. The Philadelphians went to pieces in their first 
innings against the bowling of W. M. Bradley and Blythe. The 
latter took 5 wickets for 30 runs, and the former 4 for s^, and the 
sum total of the effort was a paltry 66. 

E. W. Dillon then hit with vigor for Kent, and although E. M. 
Cregar bowled with great success and took 6 wickets for $4 runs, 



SPALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 53 

the innings yielded a total of i8o. A much better showing was 
made by Philadelphia in the second innings. J. A. Lester again 
played capital cricket for 41 ; N. Z. Graves hit hard for 28 ; C. C. 
Morris added z^, and P. H. Clark 28. The total of 177 left Kent 
with only 64 runs to win, and these were obtained with the loss of 
3 wickets.

THE METROPOLITAN DISTRICT 

The visit of the Kent County team brought to a conclusion one 
of the most interesting and successful seasons enjoyed by New 
York cricketers in many years. The success attained in England 
by the Philadelphians drew considerable attention to cricket, and 
many were the spectators at games this year who had never wit-< 
nessed a cricket match before. 

It cannot be said, however, that the game gained many active re- 
cruits, for those who were seen in local matches, were for the most 
part old timers in New York cricket. Little effort has been made 
in the past to popularize the sport. The encouragement given to 
the "Colts," which keeps the game alive in Philadelphia, is missing 
in New York, where cricket is played for the especial enjoyment of 
the individual participant, who cares little how many others may 
play the game. 

New York cricket is under the guidance of two different organ- 
izations, each of which arranges annually a championship schedule 
of games. These are the Metropolitan District Cricket League and 
the New York Cricket Association. The former was organized in 
1890, and in 1903 comprised the New Jersey, Manhattan, Brooklyn, 
Kings County and Paterson clubs. 

The championship schedule of the organization proved of un- 
usual interest, for although the team of the New Jersey C. C. 
eventually won the contest without sustaining a single defeat, the 
Manhattan eleven had at one time strong aspirations for the pen- 
nant, which seemed not unhkely to be realized. The New Jer- 
seys, however, had command of the services of three capital bowl- 
ers in C. H. Clarke, F. F. Kelly and M. R. Cobb, and, while at 
times their own scores were small, they invariably disposed of their 
opponents for less. C. H. Clarke had a splendid record with the 
ball, and won the prize given by the League for the best bowl- 
ing record of the season with an average of 5.39 for 54 wickets. 
The strength of the team's bowling may well be judged when it is 
known that the two next places on the League list were occupied by 
the other bowlers of the New Jersey team. F. F. Kelly was second 
with 5.87for3i wickets, and M.R. Cobb third with 6. 85 for 21 wickets. 

The New Jerseys had also a good batting side, and the team was 
capably managed by A. J. G. Cook, its captain. A. G. Laurie batted 
consistently well throughout the season, and his vigorous hitting 
proved of great assistance on more than one occasion. He took 
part in 12 innings and wound up the season with an average of 



go SPALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 

26.66. C. H. Clarke was second on his club's list with 20.80, and 
F. F. Kelly third with 17.41. The other batsmen hardly sustained 
their reputations, for M. R. Cobb came came next with 13.25 and 
S. E. G. Cook and A. J. G. Cook were the only other men to fin- 
ish the season with double-figure averages. 

The Paterson C. C, which finished second on the League list, 
owes its position to the good batting of W. Bunce and the bowl- 
ing of J. W. Hooper and W. Clarkson. Bunce came second in the 
League batting averages with a record of 31.33 for 12 innings, and 
an aggregate of 282 runs. F. G. Warburton also achieved success 




Bii^LMONT CRICKET CLUB GROUNDS 

with the bat and obtained an average of 19, while H. Wilde, J. W. 
Hooper and W. Dodds all got into double-figures. J. W. Hooper, 
the chief bowler of the team, delivered during the season 591 balls, 
a number surpassed only by C. H. Clarke, w^ho sent down 640, 
and concluded the season with an average of 8.73 for 23 wickets. 
W. Clarkson's record was 22 wickets for 11.38. 

The Manhattan team started off well. The batting was strength- 
ened considerably by H. F. Grahame, a new man who did splendid 
work in the earlier matches. He had then, however, a run of ill 
luck and wound up the season with 14.90 for 10 innings. F. J. 
Prenderg^-^t came first on the club's batting list with 24.44 for 12 



SPALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 



81 



innings, but the records of some of the other men, from whom 
much was expected, proved disappointing. F. A. Slade and H. B. 
Coyne both got into double-figures, and they were the only men, 
who played regularly with the team, with averages over lo. C. M. 
Smith proved to be the most successful bowler, with a record of 
8.75 for 16 wickets, while W. Adam also did well with a record of 
10.10 for 28 wickets. 

The Brooklyn team was expected to get better than fourth place, 
but, owing to a variety of circumstances, finished after both Pater- 
son and Manhattan. The team possessed the champion batsman 




PHILADELPHIA, PA. 

of the year in J. Poyer, who won the League prize with an average 
of 37.12 for II innings. A. S. Durrant, the captain of the team, 
also did good work with the willow ; but none of the others came 
ofY, and the batting, taken altogether, proved a failure. C. A. 
Worm, H. L. Poyer and J. Poyer all did good work in bowling, 
with averages of 7.57, 8.91 and 9.31, respectively, and H. Tattersall 
did well in a few matches. 

The Kings County Club went through the championship series 
without winning a game. The team took its defeat in a sportsman- 
like way and never failed to come smiling up for the next knock- 
down. The club has some good m.en in G. W. Barnes, A. Nugent, 



SPALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 83 

A. B. Lewis, H. Williams, C. T. Toddings and G. Gautier, all of 
whom strove hard for success, even if they failed to attain it. 

The New York Cricket Association, which during the year com- 
prised the second elevens of the Manhattan, Brooklyn and Pater- 
son Clubs with Branch Brook, Columbia Oval, West Indians, 
Newark, Thistles and Essex County teams, fought out a schedule, 
the winner of which was not proclaimed until the last game played. 
The four leading teams wer^ Columbia Oval, West Indians, Brook- 
lyn and Branch Brook, and each of these in turn occupied' first place 
during the season. Columbia Oval eventually won by a small mar- 
gin, with the West Indians second and Brooklyn third. 

The winners owe much for their position tO' the all-round play 
of A. Hoskings, v/ho proved a tower of strength to the team. 
He easily led the batting averages of his club with a record of 
2().22 for II innings, while his bowling was instrumental in win- 
ning more than one game against the club's strongest opponents. 
J. N. Escobal, L. Mara, A. H. Dovey and R. Cobban all did good 
work with the willow, while G. Shaw and H. O. Wilkinson 
achieved considerable success with the ball. 

The West Indians owe their position to the fine bowling of D. 
Goodridge and A. Gage. The latter led the figures of the Asso- 
ciation with a splendid average. J. Harney did the best batting, 
with an average of 19.67, while H. S. Alexander and A. F. Hard- 
ing were well to the front. 

The Brooklyn team was considered to have a winning eleven. It 
possessed two good bowlers in H. Rushton and D. G. Birkett, but 
had no one to fill either of these places in case of emergency. The 
batting was fairly strong. J. Flannery, who came second in the 
Association list with an average of 29.43 ^^^ the club figures, while 
D. G. Birkett was close up with 25.50. There was a considerable 
drop, however, after these, for W. Burrows, with 10.71 was in 
front of H. A. Laurie, E. O. Challenger and W. B. Scale, who 
obtained double-figures. 

The Branch Brook team for a long time seemed likely winners 
of the pennant ; but two defeats by Newark spoiled their chances. 
M. McHale and A. Rice were successful in bowling for the team, 
but the batting proved weak. The best work was done J. Stan- 
ton, E. Grewcock, Hal. Holden and L. Brierley. 

Newark played some good games and split even in the series with 
6 wins and 6 losses. J. E. Backus, R. E. Torrence and A. Backus 
all batted well, while the Livingston brothers did most of the 
bowling. 

J. Adam, who won the batting average of the Association with a 
record of 30.91 for 14 innings, proved the mainstay of the Thistles 
in both departments of the game. No other man of the team had 



SPALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 85 

a double-figure average, although G. M. Anderson and A. Richard- 
son played some good innings. 

The Manhattan team suffered on account of withdrawals to 
strengthen the first eleven, and had R. J. Danby and A. J. Gray re- 
mained on the team it is probable that a better record would have 
been obtained. The latter had an average of 17.71 for 9 innings, 
and the former 14.50 for 10. C. M. Smith, who played in but 4 
innings, was the only other man to obtain double-figures. 

The Paterson and Essex County clubs finished last. It is hard 
to account for the position of the last named, for they had some 
first-class men in F. Birch, T. L. White, G. Breeze and T. Gilbert. 
F. Williams also proved a useful acquisition, and on paper the 
eleven should be in the first row. An unbroken spell of ill luck 
followed the team all through the season, however, and the final 
record was but a single victory out of 12 games played. 

Next season a strong effort is to be made to organize junior 
teams. The Brooklyn Club has already a boys' eleven, from which 
in the future it is expected drafts can be made from time to time 
to fill up the regular teams of the club. It is beginning to be rec- 
ognized that this is the only way for cricket to obtain a foothold in 
New York. The game is seldom learned after majority, and unless 
it is taken up at school, a player rarely obtains any success at it.

THE SEASON IN ENGLAND 

Despite the miserable weather for which the season of 1903 was 
noted, the interest taken in the county championship was, if pos- 
sible, more intense than ever. The excitement lasted until within 
about a week of the end of the season. That it should be possi- 
ble for a county to win the championship, after finishing nine 
matches only, four of them against Gloucestershire and Somerset, 
is not the fault of the county but of the system. But unless and 
until an arrangement can be made by which each county plays each 
other county on the League system, percentages must of necessity 
find a place in estimating the position of the various shires. Un- 
fortunately, the present method does not give anything like an ac- 
curate idea of the value of a county's performance, and it is an 
amusing anomaly that Middlesex should be more than 20 per cent, 
better than Sussex, according to the tables. 

But as the tables stand, Middlesex have deservedly won the 
first place. Their team invariably worked hard to win, while to- 
ward the end of the season it was undeniably very powerful, and 
may be said to have had no tail. The bowling was eminently 
suited by the weather, and on the slow wickets appeared to be very 
strong indeed, with plenty of variation. But undoubtedly the 
strongest point of the team was, that it possessed so many use- 
ful batsmen. There were no brilliant stars like Fry and Ranjit- 
sinhji, but on the other hand every man who went in was quite 
likely to make a respectable score, let the wicket be ever so bad. 
The batting averages are not at all high, and if Wells, who heads 
the list, be left out on the ground that four of only eleven innings 
were incomplete, it will be seen that there is a succession of thirties 
and twenties, while with the exception of Douglas, who once made 
over two hundred, and Warner, who was once within a run of a 
hundred and fifty, no one made a ver^ big score. But most of the 
men played only about half as many innings as those belonging to 
Yorkshire, Lancashire and Surrey, who had so many more chances 
of becoming a cropper, such as so often happens in a wet season. 

With the great satisfaction of knowing that they had twice 
beaten Yorkshire,' and the keen disappointment of not being able 
to have a go at Middlesex at all (for the one-day match at Lord's 
was doomed to make very little progress) Sussex worthily fills the 
second place in the table. It is, perhaps, natural that Sussex 



152 SPALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 

should be described as a two-man team, for Fry and Ranjitsinhji 
over-shadowed all their companions by their great performances. 
But the county had many other sound batsmen, and Vine over and 
over again was a tower of strength to the side by his sturdy de- 
fence. Brann and Newham, when called upon to fill the places of 
younger men, played such fine cricket once more that they must be 
regarded as among the most successful and useful batsmen of the 
year, and Brann's innings against Yorkshire on a very difficult 
wicket was a masterpiece of skill. In bowling the county was cer- 
tainly deficient, and but for this it would without much doubt have 
easily come in first. There were several useful men, but no great 
ones. Tate unfortunately fell off considerably. 

The season of the Yorkshiremen, who are third on the list, was 
disappointing in the extreme. Their bowling was as strong as ever 
on slow wickets, and there was plenty of it, but when the wicket 
happened to be in favor of the batsman the team was not itself. 
■Quite early in the season Yorkshire seemed to be placed out of the 
running for the championship, and before the middle of June they 
had been beaten by Somerset (their only conquerers in 1902), Mid- 
dlesex and Sussex. On July ist they were again beaten, their victors 
this time being Surrey, but after that they made a tremendous 
fight for the championship, and it was not until their very last 
match of the season that they knew defeat once more, going down 
before Sussex at Brighton. For three years they had enjoyed a 
period of brilliant and almost uninterrupted success, but the Fates 
fought against them this year, and they were often deprived by the 
weather of what seemed a certain victory. Even in the Kent 
match, which they so nearly lost at Canterbury, the weather, which 
eventually saved them, fought against them all through the match. 
The absence of Hirst at a critical time was greatly felt, and in ad- 
dition to this the county had to deplore the inability of F. S. Jack- 
son to play in more than a few matches, while T. L. Taylor was not 
available and Washington was too ill to play at all. It is a pity 
that Ernest Smith cannot assist his county until August, but after 
all there are more important things in life than county matches. 
On the whole th^e batting was not quite so sound as in the three 
previous years, and the tail did not come as persistently as of old 
to the rescue of their side when the great batsmen had failed. It was 
chiefly to this uncertainty in the batting that Yorkshire owed their 
defeats, but at the same time it is questionable whether their bowl- 
ing, except on sticky wickets, was as deadly as usual. That the 
team under the captaincy of Lord Hawke, -who very frequently 
made useful scores when runs were ever so badly wanted, worked 
well together, goes without saying. To a man, they all did their 
best to win, and in July and August their performances were on 
the highest level. 



SPALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 153 

There was nothing about the Lancashire season which was par- 
ticularly noticeable. The team lost the same number of matches 
as Yorkshire, but there is no doubt that the county was not as 
strong as its neighbors. In his day, Barnes was one of the very 
finest bowlers in England, and his record for the season is dis- 
tinctly good. But the other bowlers were variable quantities, and 
although Brearley raised great hopes that he would be found a 
worthy successor to Mold, and, indeed, did remarkably well at 
times, it cannot be denied that Mold has not yet been replaced. 
Nor has a successor been found to Briggs. Again, in batting, Lan- 
cashire did not strike one as being very strong. Maclaren had a 
most successful season, and proved conclusively enough that no 
England eleven can be considered complete without him. In R. 
H. Spooner, the county has discovered a gold mine, and A. H. 
Hornby has frequently distinguished himself ; but there are few 
great batsmen in the team, while there is a pronounced tail. 

Until nearly the end of June, Notts made a very strong bid for 
the Championship, and did not lose a match. But they then seemed 
to fall to pieces, and were beaten by Derbyshire and twice by 
Yorkshire before they again won a match. In Iremonger, A. O. 
Jones and the three Gunns they had the nucleus of a very powerful 
team, but they had a long tail, while the bowling left a good deal 
to be desired. John Gunn was by far the most effective bowler, 
but he had many ups and downs, and at times could do nothing 
right. The county badly wants another Attewell. 

Worcestershire has had a season with which its supporters must 
be more than satisfied. Eight matches were won, a number which 
was only exceeded by Yorkshire and Lancashire, who both played 
six more times than Worcestershire. If the tail had not been so 
long the county might have given even a better account of itself. 
H. K. Foster proved to be a tower of strength to the team, but 
R'. E. Foster played but seldom, and only had an average of fif- 
teen, though his falling off is hardly likely to be more than tem- 
porary. The bowling was often distinctly good, and Arnold took 
over a hundred wickets. 

For some years the Surrey men have had the reputation of being 
but poor players on wickets which are not fast and true, but for 
a very long time they have not had such a bad season as that of 
1903, Even ten years ago, when after a long period of success they 
fell from grace, they lost fewer matches than in the past season. 
But the wet weather is not the only cause for their want of suc- 
cess ; they have ^een unfortunate in many ways. The absence of 
Abel from the team for practically the whole year was a misfortune 
in itself great enough to account for a considerable falling off. In 
addition to this there was the loss of V. F. S. Crawford and 



SPALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 155 

Jephson, an almost entire absence of promising recruits, and a com- 
plete want of life in the bowling. There were plenty of men to 
bowl, but the old hands had to do nearly all the work. The batting 
was a great disappointment, for although Hayward, Holland and 
Hayes all gave an excellent account of themselves, there was a ter- 
ribly long tail, and sometimes the whole team broke down in the 
most disheartening manner. Walker, like his predecessors in the 
office of captain, threw himself into the breach over and over again, 
and succeeded where other men had failed, and his average by no 
means represents his value to the team. Exactly the same thing 
may be said of Captain Bush, who, if the fates had been more 
favorable, would often have saved the side by his steadiness and 
coolness at a crisis. But in nearly every case the efforts of the men 
who sturdily held on to one end, waiting for help, were almost 
thrown away. It cannot be said that at present the outlook for 
next season is much more promising, but a county which possesses 
so many young cricketers of some promise, with a committee de- 
termined to make the very best of rrtatters, and an officer with the 
energy and ability of Mr. Graburn, cannot be' left for long in the 
Slough of Despond. 

If Kent could play their strongest team all through the season, 
they would have a much better record. As it is, they have had a 
fairly satisfactory year, and have won more matches than they lost, 
while they as nearly as possible succeeded in placing a victory over 
Yorkshire to their credit. They have several most promising bats- 
men, and the outlook for the future is encouraging. For a time 
both Alec Hearne and Burnup could do nothing, but later in the 
season they both asserted themselves and played splendid cricket. 
Blythe had a wonderfully good season with the ball, and in the 
opinion of many who played against him is the equal of Rhodes on 
a sticky wicket. 

Somerset once more showed that no county is safe against them, 
and once more they succeeded in beating Yorkshire, although in 
the return match they were only saved by the weather from an over- 
whelming defeat. They made a splendid fight with Middlesex in 
the return match, and the least bit of good fortune might have given 
them the victory. In the return match with Lancashire they gained 
a brilliant victory. Thus, if they had not won another match they 
might have been well content with the season's results. V/ith 
bowlers like Brand and Craniield in the team, Somerset was at any 
time likely to create a surprise, but if these men failed it was just 
as likely that there would be a severe defeat. 

Warwickshire did fairly well, and toward the end of the season 
found a most useful addition to the team in F. R. Loveitt, who 
played much better than he had ever previously done, W. G.. 



156 SPALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 

Quaife kept up his reputation, but on the whole the batting was 
disappointing, while the bowling was not at all strong. Until the 
middle of August, Gloucestershire failed to win a match, but then 
won three in succession. So much depended on Jessop that it is not 
surprising that the county was not successful this season. Some of 
the best batsmen could play but seldom, and the bowling was weak 
in the extreme. Toward the end of the season a most promising 
recruit was found in Dennett, who, if he is not overworked, may 
be heard of in the future. 

Until the middle of the season, Essex had a fine record. In their 
first match they were very badly beaten by Yorkshire at Leyton, 
but they did not suffer a reverse again until on July 15th they lost 
to Warwickshire. This seemed only an accidental occurrence, for 
they did well again until the beginning of August, when the team 
seemed to consist of Perrin, McGahey and Mead, who all kept up 
their reputations. Sewell was a great disappointment, after play- 
ing fine cricket for about half the season on all sorts of wickets, 
but he was always well worth playing. In Gillingham, the county 
has discovered one of the most promising players of the day. The 
bowling is still weak, but for a time Buckenham carried everything 
before him. Derbyshire won several matches, but they depended 
far too much on two or three men, of whom L. G. Wright played 
splendid cricket time after time when his companions failed. 
Hampshire and Leicestershire each only won a single match, but 
both teams show promise for the future.

Lord's, August 24., etc., were abandoned without a ball having 
been bowled, and are therefore not included in the above table. 

There is no necessity for looking at the table of averages, or for 
comparing scores, in order to find out the man of the year. Nor 
can there be any hesitation as to whether it would be well to 
barcket two or three men for the first place, for C. B. Fry stands 
alone as unquestionably "the" man of 1903. His position has not 
been gained by means of several large scores mixed up with heaps 
of low ones, but by consistent play throughout the season, and 
never before has he so reminded old cricketers of what Dr. Grace 
was like when in his prime. It has, perhaps naturally, been custom- 
ary to describe Fry as a man whose reputation has been made al- 
most entirely by the perfection of modern wickets, but while he has 
frequently in previous years done exceedingly well when he has 
had to play bowlers who had their favorite wickets to work upon, 
he has never before been so completely master of the situation. In 
a bowler's year he has consistently made high scores with hardly 
any failure; he has shown an adaptability which can only be de- 
scribed as astonishing to circumstances of all kinds ; in fine, he has 
been master of the situation. He has taken away the reproach that 
Englishmen have no batsmen who can stand beside Trumper and 
livCo 

It is no more difficult to point to the man who comes next to Fry. 
This can be no other than Ranjitsinhji, whose performances, but 
for the fact that they have been overshadowed by those of his com- 
panion in the Sussex team, would have been regarded as wonderful. 
In a season which was even worse for batsmen than that of 1902, 
he completely recovered his form, and with only 38 completed inn- 
ings made nearly two thousand runs. His doings have been all the 
more remarkable because, as a native of India, such a miserable 
season as that of 1903 must have been entirely unsuited to his 
temperament. It was a wonderful thing that he could adapt him- 
self to the altered conditions as to play the most brilliant cricket 
•on occasions when everything must have been disheartening and 
•discouraging to him, when he must have been disgusted at the pro- 
longed absence of a sun which in his earlier years he only knew 
as a constant and almost overpowering visitor. But over and over 
again he has been seen to immense advantage, and has bewildered 
the bowlers opposed to him by the fertility of his resources. It has 
heen a great season for him, despite its wet and cold. 

Thus far it has been the simplest of tasks to decide on the posi- 
tions of the chief players of the year, for there can be no two opin- 
ions about the merits of Fry and Ranjitsinhji. But when it comes 
' to the third place one is hopelessly at a loss.' But the chances are 
that in a general vote of first-class cricketers the name of Maclaren 



SPALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 159 

would appear more frequently than that of anyone else. Maclaren 
has quite got back his old form, and his old reputation as a man 
who is to be depended on for runs when no one could feel really 
confident of playing a long innings. He has shown equal skill in 
defence and in attack, and he has been a tower of strength to the 
Lancashire team. Never has he shown more conclusively that no 
England team can be called complete without him. He has been, 
as always, the very man required for a big occasion, witness his 
determined stand with Fry in the second innings of Gentlemen vs. 
Players, at Lord's, when the two men completely changed the for- 
tunes of an apparently hopeless game. 

The fourth place may, perhaps, be given jointly to Hirst, Perrin, 
L. C. H. Palairet, Knight and Ironmonger, who have all been con- 
sistent and have all done particularly well in times of difficulty 
and danger. Palairet, Knight and Perrin have each been the main- 
stay of their side ; they have not received as much help as the 
other two men, and on the whole one would be inclined to consider 
their performances as slightly more meritorious than those of 
Hirst and Ironmonger, who have nevertheless had a fine season. 
Hayward has played in more innings than anybody else, but he has 
also scored more runs than anybody except Fry, and as usual he 
owes his position to a series of good innings rather than a few very 
big ones against weak bowling. For a time he seemed to show 
signs that his powers were failing a little, but soon he reasserted 
himself, and despite the discouraging form shown by Surrey, he 
kept well to the front. That he had few chances of pulljng his 
•county out of a hole was not his fault but his misfortune. Tyldes- 
ley, W. G. Quaife and P. F. Warner have all had a very satisfac- 
tory season, while among other men who have played up to their 
reputation are A. O. Jones, H. K. Foster, W. Gunn, J. Gunn, 
Hayes, Denton, Braund, C. McGahey, C. M. Wells, A. J. L. Hill, 
W. L. Murdock, C. J. Burnup, Arnold and Vine. Except for a 
remarkable innings of 286, which won the match against Sussex 
for Gloucestershire, Jessop has hardly been at hiij best, although 
he has often played a fine game. But he has very seldom got right 
into his stride this season, though he does not seem to have lost 
any of his confidence. Brann and Newham have done wonders for 
Sussex; they are both adepts at making runs when they are badly 
wanted. 

Without question, G. W. Beldam has greatly improved his posi- 
tion, although at the beginning of the season he took some time in 
settling down. As a defensive player he is one of the most useful 
of the day. The Australian, L. O. S. Poidevin, has not played 
very much, but he has quite shown that he is worthy of the repu- 
tation which he gained before he went to England. Over and over 



160 SPALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 

again Lord Hawke has played a very useful innings for his side, 
although the highest score is 79; he nearly always manages to 
keep up his end at a pinch. Another Yorkshireman, Rhodes, has 
proved himself a particularly useful man at a crisis. Among the 
rising players R. H. Spooner has, perhaps, attracted the greatest 
attention, although B. J. T. Bosanquet has deservedly risen high in 
the estimation of cricketers by his ability to p>ay a strong game 
when things are going badly for his side. Dowson has done better 
than before, but one always feels that he ought to be even better 
than he is, and that the time must come sooner or later when he 
bears out the remarkable promise shown by him during his boyhood. 
It was not a great year for the famous Doctor, although he did by 
no means badly; his fine innings of 150 against Gloucestershire 
showed well enough of what he is still capable. Braund has played 
consistently well, without being as prominently before the public as 
usual. For a time L. G. Wright's succession of fine innings for 
Derbyshire were the theme of admiration of all cricketers, for his 
runs were nearly always made when his companions failed. E. M. 
Sprot, Bowley, Killick, J. H. King (Leicestershire), A. H. Horn- 
by, Holland and Relf well deserve their positions in the average 
list by the excellence of their play, but Albert Trott, Storer, E. W. 
Dillon, C. E. deTrafford and A. E. Lawton have all had a more or 
less disappointing season such as is bound to happen to nearly 
every batsman occasionally. Sewell gave very great promise, but 
fell off after the middle of the year ; he will probably come a great 
deal more to the front next season. No one has been more dis- 
appointing than V. F. S. Crawford. It was thought that, with his 
place assured, he would be one of the most notable men of the 
year, but his time has not yet come. 

Certain of the members of the Gentlemen of Philadelphia team 
must not be passed over. In Dr. Lester and J. B. King, the Ameri- 
cans had two batsm.en who would not have been left out by any 
county if they had been available, for they both possessed the grit 
which is so necessary in a great batsman, as well as a very great 
deal of skill ; above all, they had "class." King, who is also a fine 
bowler, would be worth his place in an English team if he were a 
native. These two men and Bohlen were almost a class above the 
other batsmen in the team, but in their several ways Graves, Mor- 
ris and Sharpless were fine cricketers. *» 

On the whole the batting strikes one as having been better than 
the bowling, but the season has been particularly notable for the 
number of men who have distinguished themselves in both branches 
of the game. Amons^ them may be mentioned Hirst, Braund, 
Arnold, J. Gunn and Rhodes (who have all taken a hundred wick- 
ets and scored a thousand runs), J. B. King (the American), Alec 



«±»ALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 161 

Hearne, Relf, Lees, G. W. Beldam, C. M. Wells and B. J. T. Bos- 
anquet. No startling new strokes have been invented, and for the 
most part men have been constrained to leave fancy strokes severely 
alone, although some have persisted in trying to make them, with 
unfortunate results to themselves. ''Leg play" has not been nearly 
as conspicuous as usual, since with the ball doing curious things, 
it was not very easy to calculate with exactness just what it was 
going to do, and it was safer to bring the bat against it. 

The chief thing which is to be noted with regard to the bowling 
of the year is perhaps not so much the great success of Rhodes and 
Hirst and Blythe as the appearance on the scene of some new bowl- 
ers of great promise. But it must not be forgotten that bowlers' 
wickets have been the rule rather than the exception, and that 
many men who have done wonderfully well would not have been 
heard of at all in an ordinary season. Two new bowlers stand out 
very prominently, viz., Langford and Dennett. It would have been 
more satisfactory to English cricket if these bowlers had belonged 
to counties which are already strong in bowling, for then they 
would have had a really excellent chance of coming to the front. 
As it is, Langford plays for Hampshire and Dennett for Gloucester- 
shire, two teams which have so little bowling that newcomers, if 
they are good are bound to be overworked, and to receive so little 
support that, unless they are altogether out of the common, they 
can never very greatly distinguish themselves. Even a Rhodes or 
a Trumble would have without doubt become commonplace in 
course of Jime if it had been their lot to play for a county which 
was weak in bowling. Experience has shown conclusively that, if 
a famous bowler ceases to play for a team which is strong in bowl- 
ing, he gradually loses his skill about nine times out of ten. It is 
quite natural that this should be the case, for with a strong team it 
very seldom happens that a man has to keep on until he is dis- 
couraged, whereas in a weak team it must often be his lot to wish 
that he had never been born. 

Whether Langford and Dennett will rise superior to circum- 
stances remains to be seen. Their rapidly gained reputations have 
been made on sticky wickets, and it is more than likely that in a 
dry season they would be ineffective. In the first half of the sea- 
son Buckenham came with a great rush and almost created a sensa- 
tion. He was interviewed frequently and his opinions on the art 
of bowling were eagerly sought for. But in the midst of his great 
success he suddenly seemed to fall off, and was no more heard of. 
Other professionals of whom a brilliant future was prophesied were 
Jackson and Montgomery, the young Surrey bowlers who did so 
well in the first few matches of the season. But they both vanished 
from the scene altogether after a few matches, although they are

SPALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 165 

fairly high up in the season's averages. Ringrose, who bowled sq 
well for Yorkshire for a time, also disappeared ; he heads the aver- 
ages for the season. Of the iDowlers with reputations, Rhodes and 
Hirst have undoubtedly been the most talked about, but one has an 
uneasy suspicion that on hard wickets neither of them is as good as 
he was, and that if the season had been normal their reputation 
would have suffered. Mead, who in match after match had hardly 
anybody to back him up, can point to an astonishingly good year. 
The American bowlers, J. B. King and P. H. Clark very greatly 
distinguished themselves ; without doubt they would both play for 
the Gentlemen if they were Englishmen. The slow wickets have 
been a godsend to Blythe — one of the best slow wicket bowlers in 
the world — J. T. Hearne and Hargreave; who have all done very 
well indeed, while Roberts, the Gloucestershire veteran, whose days 
seemed quite over, has come to the front again in a very marked 
manner. In his day Barnes was, perhaps, the most difficult bowler 
of the season, but like Martin Macintyre of old, he has his off days, 
when he does not seem himself at all. But provided that their side 
has other good men to fall back upon, bowlers of this kind are 
probably the most serviceable of all, for they will win half a dozen 
matches in a season. Arnolds, Relf, Alec Hearne, Haigh and J. 
Gunn have well sustained their reputations, while W. H. B. Evans 
and H. C. McDonell have shown great promise. It is said to be 
obliged to chronicle a great falling off in Trott, Lockwood and 
Tate, but of these Lockwood is never seen at his best unless he can 
get a firm foothold. On the few really perfect wickets of the sea- 
son big scores have been made, v/hich in itself is not an encouraging 
sign as regards English bowling, for batsmen very seldom can time 
the ball in a fast wicket immediately after they have been playing 
on slow ones. The fact remains that at the present time there is 
no Mold or Richardson (the Richardson of old), no Lohmann, no 
Alfred Shaw or Attewell. 

If proof were needed that it is the constant running about on 
hard grounds for so many hours at a time in a succession of 
matches which is the chief cause of bad fielding, it would be suf- 
ficient to point to numerous references during the year to the im- 
provement in the fielding even of notoriously bad fielding teams. 
For the greater part of the year grounds have been soft, and large 
totals conspicuous by their absence, so that men have gone to their

batsman, although once or twice during the season he has made 

a useful stand. But with such men as Lilley, Butt, Huish, Findlay, 

Humphries, Macgregor, Hunter, Board and Newton England has 
no reason to complain of a dearth of wicket-keepers.

is in play, shall have crossed and made good their ground from 
€nd to end. 2d, for penalties under Laws 16, 34, 41, and allow- 
ances under 44. Any run or runs so scored shall be duly recorded 
by scorers appointed for the purpose. The side which scores the

14. The bowler shall be allowed to change ends as often as he 
pleases, provided only that he does not bowl two overs consecu- 
tively in one innings.

188 SPALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 

out ; but if the bowler throw at that wicket and any run result

wicket, the striker shall not be out, excepting under Laws 26, 27, 
28, 29 and 30. 

43. The umpires are the sole judges of fair or unfair play, of the

putes shall be determined by them, and if they disagree the actual 
state of affairs shall continue. 

44. They shall pitch fair wickets, arrange boundaries where neces-

sary, and the allowances to be made for them, and change ends

specific way of getting out is stated by the person asking. 

47. The umpire at the bowler's wicket shall be appealed to before 
the other umpire in all cases except those of stumping, hit wicket, 
run out at the striker's wicket, or arising out of Law 42, but in 
any case in which an umpire is unable to give a decision he shall 
appeal to the other umpire, whose decision shall be final. 

48. If either umpire be not satisfied of the absolute fairness of 
the delivery of any ball, he shall call "No ball." 

48a. The umpire shall take especial care to call "No ball" ir 
stantly upon delivery, "Wide ball" as soon as it shall have passed 
the striker. 

49. If either batsman run a short run, the umpire shall call "One 
short/' and the run shall not be scored. 

50. After the umpire has called ''Over" the ball is "Dead," but 
an appeal may be made as to whether either batsman is out ; such 
appeal, however, shall not be made after the delivery of the next 
ball, nor after any cessation of play. 

51. No umpire shall be allowed to bet. 

52. No umpire shall be changed during a match unless with the 
consent of both sides, except in case of violation of Law 51, when 
either side may dismiss him. 

53. The side which bats first and leads by 150 runs in a three 
days' match, or by 100 runs in a two days' match, shall have the 
option of requiring the other side to follow their innings. 

54. The inside may declare their innings at an end in a three days^ 
match at or after the luncheon interval on the second day; in a 
two days' match on the second day, at any time ; in a one day match 
at any time. 



190 SPALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 

ONE-DAY MATCHES. 

1. The side which bats first and leads by 75 runs shall have the 
option of requiring the other side to follow their innings. 

2. The match, unless played out, shall be decided by the first 
innings. Prior to the commencement of a match it may be agreed : 
That the over consist of 5 or 6 balls. 

N. B. — A Tie is included in the words 'Tlayed out." 



SINGLE WICKET. 
The laws are, where they apply, the same as the above, zvith the 
follo7ving alterations and additions: 

1. One wicket shall be pitched, as in Law 6, with a bowling stump 
opposite to it at a distance of twenty-two yards. The bowling 
crease shall be in a line v/ith the bowling stump and drawn ac- 
cording to Law 7. 

2. When there shall be less than five players on a side bounds 
shall be placed twenty-two yards each in a line from the off and 
leg stump. 

3. The ball must be hit before the bounds to entitle the striker 
to a run, which run cannot be obtained unless he touch the 
bowling stump or crease in a line with his bat, or some part of 
his person, or go beyond them, and return to the popping crease. 

4. When the striker shall hit the ball, one of his feet must be 
on the ground behind the popping crease, otherwise the umpire 
shall call ''No hit" and no run shall be scored. 

5. When there shall be less than five players on a side neither 
byes, leg byes, nor overthrows shall be allowed, nor shall the 
striker be caught out behind the wicket, nor stumped. 

6. The fieldsman must return the ball so that it shall cross the 
ground between the wicket and the bowling stump, or between the 
bowling stump and the bounds ; the striker may run till the ball 
be so returned. 

7. After the striker shall have made one run, if he start again 
he must touch the bowling stump or crease, and turn before the 
ball cross the ground to entitle him to another. 



SPALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 191 

8. The striker shall be entitled to three runs for lost ball, and 
the same number for ball wilfully stopped by a fieldsman other- 
wise than with any part of his person. 

9. When there shall be no more than four players on a side 
there shall be no bounds. All hits, byes, leg byes and overthrows 
shall then be allowed. 

10. There shall be no restriction as to the ball being bowled in 
overs, but no more than one minute shall be allowed between 
each ball. 



INSTRUCTIONS TO UMPIRES. 

FITNESS OF GROUND. 

Law 43. At the commencement of a match, the umpires may be 
appealed to by either side as to fitness of the ground for play. 

Should they not agree, play will not commence until they are 
agreed. 

In case of interruption from rain, as soon as rain has ceased, 
the umpires shall, immediately, v/ithout further instruction, inspect 
the wicket, unaccompanied by any of the players, and decide upon 
its fitness. Should it prove unfit, they shall continue to inspect at 
intervals, until they decide that it is fit for play, when they shall call 
upon the players to resume the game. 

The ground is unfit for play — when water stands on the surface, 
or when it is so wet, muddy or slippery as to deprive the bowlers 
of a reasonable foothold or the fieldsman of the power of free 
movement. 

The umpires are not to be biased by the opinions of either side, 
still less are they to allow themselves to be influenced by the im- 
patience of the spectators for a resumption of the game, and are 
not to be induced by the public interest in a particular match to 
declare the ground fit for play unless they would consider that 
ground fit under any circumstances. 

FITNESS OF LIGHT FOR PLAY. 

The umpires may decide on appeal that there is not sufficient 
light for play. Should the light improve before the time for draw- 



192 SPALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 

ing stumps, they shall, without waiting for instructions, call upon 
the players to resume the game. 

In the event of the captains agreeing as to the conditions of the 
ground or light the umpires will so far be relieved of their re- 
sponsibility. 

Law 47. An umpire is only justified in appealing to the other 
umpire when he is unable to decide, owing to his having been 
prevented from seeing the occurrence on which the appeal is based. 
He is not to appeal to the other umpire in cases on which he could 
give a decision, merely because he is unwilling to give that de- 
cision. If he be in any doubt the principle laid down in Law 43, 
'That the existing state of things shall continue," shall be followed^ 
and in consequence the decision should be in favor of the batsman. 

Law 48. The special attention of umpires is called to this law, 
which directs them to call "No ball," unless absolutely satisfied of 
the fairness of the delivery. 

Umpires should not allow themselves to be unduly influenced by 
appeals from such of the field who were not in a position to form 
a judgment on the point appealed upon, or by tricks — such as- 
throwing up the ball, on appealing for a catch at the wicket^ 
without waiting for the decision. Umpires, being the sole judges 
of fair or unfair play, such devices are obviously unfair and are 
not in accordance with the spirit in which cricket should be 
played. 

By order of the Committee of the AI.C.C. 

June 20, 1892. 



In the course of the season of 1899 the following additions to the 
Instructions to Umpires were approved by the M.C.C. Committee: 
Law 54. — "Declaring." — 

(a) If a side declare its innings during the luncheon inter- 

val, it must do so within fifteen minutes after the 
commencement of such interval, otherwise an extra 
ten minutes will be allowed for rolling. 

(b) If a side declare its innings closed in the morning before 

play commences, it must do so in sufficient time to 



SPALDING'S OFFICIAL CRICKET GUIDE. 193 

enable the other side to choose the roller it prefers, 
otherwise an extra ten minutes will be allowed for 
rolling. 

CODE OF SIGNALING. 

Boundaries shall be signaled by waving the hand from side 
to side. 

Byes shall be signaled by raising the open hand above the 
head. 

Leg-byes shall be signaled by raising the leg and touching it 
with the hand. 

Wides shall be signaled by extending both arms horizontally. 

No-ball shall be signaled by extending one arm horizontally. 

The decision "Out" shall be signaled by raising the index finger 
above the head. 

Umpires should wait until a signal has been answered by the 
scorer before allowing the game to proceed. 

Besides signaling, the umpire should "call" distinctly for the in- 
formation of the players. 

On giving a decision the umpire should make sure that the bats- 
man understands what the decision is. 



Additions to "Instructions to Umpires." 
Passed by M.C.C. Committee, June i6, 1902. 

(a) Umpires are not justified in deciding the ground unfit 

for play merely because the grass is wet and the ball 
would, in consequence, be slippery. 

(b) In order to facilitate play at the earliest possible mo- 

ment in wet weather the umpires shall see that the 
footholes made by bowlers and batsmen are cleaned 
out, dried and filled up with sawdust at any time dur- 
ing the match, although the game is not actually in 
progress.

A WORD TO CRICKETERS IN THE 
UNITED STATES 

Coming before the cricketers of the United States for the first 
time as manufacturers of cricket goods, a few words of explana- 
tion of our present position may not be amiss. 

Cricket in England holds, as everyone knows, the same re- 
lation to athletics in general as base ball does in this country. In 
establishing our London business, therefore, it became necessary 
for us to enter into the manufacture of cricket goods, which we 
have done on a large scale and in the Spalding way, viz., by 
buying the very finest of raw material and employing only the ' 
most expert workmen. This is of interest to the cricketers of 
the United States, because it will put in operation in cricket the 
same plan and policy that we have on all other athletic goods, 
viz., to give them the benefit of the lowest prices consistent with 
perfect quality. We think you will agree in looking over our 
price list that goods of Ai quality have never been sold as cheap 
before. We hope the low prices may help the game in this 
country; we certainly trust so. Of one thing you may rest 
assured — that all articles of our manufacture, whether for cricket 
or any other sport, are accompanied by the Spalding Guarantee, 
We take the risk of your satisfaction.

Hollow

Qolf 

Clubs 

Patented June 8,1897 



Each, $2.50 



This style club is something that should be in the caddy bag of 
every golfer really interested in playing the best game possible. 
In construction it is scientifically correct, and the idea is one 
that needs only to be explained in order to meet with general 
approval. We rivet a piece of one-sixteenth inch highly tem- 
pered steel on a hollow head, and in that way give you spring 
and resistance combined at the point where they are required. 
Golfers of international reputation have endorsed them highly, 
and they bid fair to revolutionize club making to a great extent. 
The set consists of cleek, lofting mashie, mid-iron and putter. 
Each has points of superiority over the ordinary style, and any 
claim we may make in regard to them we are sure will be borne 
out by your experience after a trial. We* know that the cleek, 
tried fairly , should improve your shots at least fifty yards, and we 
can make this statement safely because the assertion has been re- 
peated to us so often by those who are using the club now.

The Spalding Patent 
Inflated Striking Bag Disks 



Patent Pending 




WE need not dilate 
on the healthful 
attributes so generally 
recognized, but if any- 
thing can make bag- 
punching more popular 
we think the style disks 
we introduce this season 
will go far in that direc- 
tion. No complaint is 
more common, in refer- 
ence to the ordinary 
platform, than the an- 
noyance caused by its 
vibration and noise. So 
far as it is physically 
possible we have elimi- 
nated both of these dis- 
agreeable features. The 
bag does not hit against a 
solid frame, but instead 
we have a pneumatic 
cushion, and conse- 
quently there is no 
more noise than that 
occasioned by the fist 
tapping the bag, while 
on the same account the 
vibration is reduced to a 
minimum. 



ADJUSTABLE STYLE 

Can be raised or lowered simply by loosening the jamb thumb-nuts. 

Is perfectly firm and solid when thumb-nuts are tightened and has 

a long space for adjustment. 

No. AR. Complete, without bag. Each, $10.00

HOWTOBECOMEABOXER 

For many years publications have 
been issued on the art of boxing that 
to a certain extent did not enable the 
novice nor the youth to become pro- 
ficient in the manly art. There is 
probably no man in America better 
qualified to teach boxing than Prof. 
William Elmer, and in his book on 
the subject he goes into it very ex- 
haustively. The book contains about 
seventy full page illustrations, show- 
ing how each blow is to be made, 
how to attack and how to defend 
yourself. It shows how the hands 
must be held and the positions to 
take, with descriptions that are so 
accurate that any boy can take them, 
open them up and with a young friend 
become proficient. Besides being a 
fully illustrated book on the art of 
self-defence, it contains nearly all 
the photographs of the leading Amer- 
ican boxers and the positions they 
take, which in itself is instructive ; 
the different rules under which all 
contests are held, and articles which 
will interest anyone on the question 
of physical education. In order to 
make this publication the most ac- 
curate one issued. Prof. Elmer had 
his sparring partner posed personally 
for all the illustrations.

npen flinutes' Exercise 

D* Luther Guiick for Busy Hen 

Dr. Gulick says: "The experi- 
ence of years has demonstrated the 
efficiency of the exercises contained 
in ' Ten Minutes' Exercise for Busy 
Men ' in securing the ends for a\ hich 
they were devised. Many letters 
have been written by men, testifying 
to the great benefit which they have 
secured from these few minutes of 
simple but vigorous work. 

M * * * The correspondence 
schools of physical training have 
come into great activity. Their 
general aim is to build up big mus- 
cles. A somewhat careful investi- 
gation of them satisfies me that they 
are inferior to the exercises in this 
drill for purposes of building up 
vigor and manliness. 

'*One of the most vigorous claims 
of some of these schools, namely, 
that the heart particularly is bene- 
fited by their work, is false, for I 
have had case after case of men 
whose hearts have been injured by 
taking the correspondence schools' 
work when they were not in condi- 
tion for it, 

•♦ The exercises in * Ten Minutes* 
Exercise for Busy Men * are recom- 
mended with the confidence of long, 
successful use. The results secured 
are better than those possible from 
the correspondence school work in 
the specific directions mentioned."
